BILL NUMBER:  AB 1513
  VETOED	DATE: 09/23/2012




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1513 without my signature.

Current law requires all premises of a food facility to be kept
"clean, fully operative, and in good repair." Local health
jurisdictions enforce this law, as they enforce myriad other
requirements pertaining to restaurant food safety.

Until there's more evidence that the problem warrants new state law,
let's maintain the principle of subsidiarity and let the locals
enforce what can already be called a comprehensive mandate.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
